Follow on Google News | Clark Colborn Releases His Second AlbumClark Colborn’s new album is entitled “Again,” (his second) and it was released on January 2nd. Colborn’s first release came out under the name “Clark Plays Guitar.” The new disc is a step forward from that debut.
By: Gary Hill The first time around Colborn earned some impressive critical accolades. Gregory Johnson of Beetcafe.com said, "Listening to the CD takes you back to the days when Randy Rhodes and Eddie Van Halen turned playing guitar into an art form.” According to Wayne Klinger of Quintessence, "...Clark is definitely something quite different in terms of the way he writes and handles his music. The leads and rhythms are catchy and inspiring; just the whole damn CD is impressive." With reviews like that some artists might be content to release a “more of the same” sequel. Rather than take the easy route, though, Colborn ups the ante with the follow up. The change can be noted by just looking at the credits as King’s X’s Ty Tabor serves as the mastering engineer on the release. But the difference doesn’t stop there. Colborn admits that on the first disc he held back a bit, playing it a bit safe. With Again, he says, “I let the songs take control and go where they wanted to go. So I ended up with longer songs (the obvious single, “Lie to Me,” is six and a half minutes long!), more complex arrangements (but they still flow and rock!), and vocals. I always try to write music that will flow, and rock, and hold the attention of the listener. Sometimes getting too technical can ruin that flow, but for intelligent listeners not being technical enough can make the music boring. I think this album really strikes a good balance.” For more information you can check out Clark Colborn on the web at clarkplaysguitar.com and facebook.com/ Contact: pr@musicstreetjournal.com Clarkplaysguitar.com facebook.com/ End
